The Bates and Fletcher Genealogical Register: "Susan Fletcher, the second daughter of Captain Jonathan and Lucretia Emerson Fletcher, was born in Boston, Mass., February 27, 1789. She was married on May 20, 1807, in Boston, Mass., by the Rev. John Murray, to James Rouse. He was born in Medford, Mass., and died in Blakeley, Ala., in 1817. "About 1815 the new State of Alabama was being much talked about in Boston and vicinity, and very favorable reports were brought from there as to the opportunities to make money. Great inducements were especially held out to Northern mechanics to settle there, and Mr. James Rouse, being a first-class cabinet maker and furniture manufacturer, was induced to try his fortunes in that new State. He had an excellent furniture warehouse in Boston, but he sold out his business in that city and with his family went to Blakeley, near Mobile, Ala., in 1817. "It took them about sixty days to make the voyage to Mobile in a sailing vessel. All were terribly seasick and exhausted when they reached there, especially Mr. Rouse who died and was buried the ninth day after their arrival at Blakeley, leaving his widow in a strange land with five small children, the oldest only nine years and the youngest a babe. "Susan Fletcher Rouse, widow of James Rouse, married, as her second husband, Nathan Whiting, in St. Stevens, Ala., on September 10, 1818. He died in Mobile, Ala., on March 24, 1836. She died in Mobile, Ala., May 3, 1876." They were living in Mobile in 1820, according to page 54 of the Bates & Fletcher Genealogical Register, when her sister Frances Fletcher Thurston married Andrew Henshaw, from Leicester, Massachusetts, in her home.
